[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1498502, member: 498"] There is a saying working in the woods here in the PNW. You run in for your job and out for your life. That is literally true. It was especially true in the logging camps in Alaska. When the chokers came back if you walked toward them you would find yourself unemployed by the end of the day. You ran away after the chokers were set. If you walked you could easily be dead by the end of the day. This running was generally on a steep hillside covered with limbs, tops, and broken chunks of log. When I went to falling timber it generally paid by how much you got done. You had better pay attention to what you were doing but again it was done at a very fast pace. Job security was the amount of sweat dripped off your nose. And that was sweat on a cool even cold day. There was a large logging company down in the Grays Harbor area that had a sign over their hiring office that said "If you can't fly don't light here." I am a little older now and no longer work at that pace. But I still show up early and get after it until the job is done. Breaks are for taking once the job is done. [/QUOTE]
